At 91000 miles, and a noticeable lack of maintenance on this unit by previous owners, I feel compelled to change coils, and while coils are off, plugs as well.
I plan to run some seafoam through a vacuum intake to help break up the carbon on the inside of the engine. Then, after removing all 10 coils, I will blow out the holes with 120psi air. Penetrating oil will be allowed to work its magic overnight and in the morning I will attempt to loosen each plug gently. After about 2 turns, i will blow more 120psi air to prevent debris from entering the cylinder. I will lightly coat the threads of the plugs with anti-seize and gently thread them in until they snug up. I will torque them to 13ft lbs. I will then coat the plug in dielectric grease and install the COPs.
Miss aything?
I do not have to remove the rails, just some hoses and lines. Just depends on which intake you have. Seems to comes with several.
I read that you may or may not need to loosen a fuel rail? Is this applicable for the f53 since we can just remove the doghouse and have full overhead engine access?
